Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Notes)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Nature of Business
	IZEA, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in February 2006 under the name PayPerPost, Inc. and became a public company incorporated in the state of Nevada in May 2011. The Company is headquartered in Winter Park, Florida with offices in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York and a sales presence in Texas and Michigan.
	The Company is a leading company in the social sponsorship spacecreating the first social sponsorship marketplace in 2006 with the launch of our first platform, PayPerPost.com. Social sponsorship is when a company compensates a social media publisher or influencer such as a blogger or tweeter ("creators") to share sponsored content with their social network audience. This sponsored content is shared within the body of a content stream, a practice also referred to as “native advertising” and "sponsored content.” The Company generates its revenue primarily through the sale of sponsorship campaigns to its advertisers. The Company fulfills these campaigns through its platforms by utilizing its network of creators to complete sponsorship opportunities for its advertisers. The Company also generates revenue from the posting of targeted display advertising and from various service fees.
	The Company currently operates an online marketplace that connects brands with creators at IZEA.com as well as other white label marketplaces. IZEA.com and all white label sites are powered by the IZEA Exchange (“IZEAx”), a platform that handles content workflow, creator search and targeting, bidding, analytics and payment processing. IZEAx is designed to provide a unified ecosystem that enables the creation of multiple types of content including blog posts, status updates, videos and photos through a wide variety of social channels including blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr, among others. Prior to the launch of IZEAx, the Company had independent technology platforms including PayPerPost.com, SocialSpark.com and SponsoredTweets.com, which were shut down throughout 2014 and replaced with the IZEAx system.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IZEA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IZEA Innovations, Inc. (together, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
	Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Uncollectibility of accounts receivable is not significant since most customers are bound by contract and are required to fund the Company for all the costs of an “opportunity,” defined as an order created by an advertiser for a creator to write about the advertiser’s product. If a portion of the account balance is deemed uncollectible, the Company will either write-off the amount owed or provide a reserve based on the uncollectible portion of the account. Management determines the collectibility of accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. The Company does not have a reserve for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Management believes that this estimate is reasonable, but there can be no assurance that the estimate will not change as a result of a change in economic conditions or business conditions within the industry, the individual customers or the Company. Any adjustments to this account are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as a general and administrative expense. Bad debt expense was less than 1% of revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are typically limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company also controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. At December 31, 2014, the Company had two customers which accounted for 29% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. At December 31, 2013, the Company had two customers which accounted for 23% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. The Company had one customer that accounted for 10% and 12% of its revenue during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Property and Equipment
	Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method and half-year convention over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Computer Equipment	3 years
	Software Costs	3 years
	Office Equipment	3 - 10 years
	Furniture and Fixtures	5 - 10 years
	Leasehold Improvements	5 years
	Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, related costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed and any gain or loss is recognized in net income or loss.
	Software Development Costs
	Throughout 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, the Company developed a new web-based advertising exchange platform called the IZEA Exchange (IZEAx). IZEAx is designed to provide a unified ecosystem that enables the creation of multiple types of content including blog posts, status updates, videos and photos through a wide variety of social channels including blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and LinkedIn, among others. This platform will be utilized both internally and externally to facilitate native advertising campaigns on a greater scale. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software and ASC 985-730, Computer Software Research and Development, research phase costs should be expensed as incurred and development phase costs including direct materials and services, payroll and benefits and interest costs may be capitalized. The Company is amortizing software development costs for IZEAx over 5 years.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company derives its revenue from three sources: revenue from an advertiser for the use of the Company's network of social media content creators to fulfill advertiser sponsor requests for a blog post, tweet, click or action ("Sponsored Revenue"), revenue from the posting of targeted display advertising ("Media Revenue") and revenue derived from various service fees charged to advertisers and creators ("Service Fee Revenue"). Sponsored revenue is recognized and considered earned after an advertiser's opportunity is posted on the Company's online platform and their request is completed and content listed, as applicable, by the Company's creators for a requisite period of time. The requisite period ranges from 3 days for an action or tweet to 30 days for a blog. Management fees related to Sponsored Revenue from advertising campaigns managed by the Company are recognized ratably over the term of the campaign which may range from a few days to months. Media Revenue is recognized and considered earned when the Company's creators place targeted display advertising in blogs. Service fees charged to advertisers are primarily related to inactivity fees for dormant accounts and fees for additional services outside of sponsored revenue. Service fees charged to creators include upgrade account fees for obtaining greater visibility to advertisers in advertiser searches in our platforms, early cash-out fees if a creator wishes to take proceeds earned for services from their account when the account balance is below certain minimum balance thresholds and inactivity fees for dormant accounts. Service fees are recognized immediately when the maintenance or enhancement service is performed for an advertiser or creator or at the time the account becomes dormant or is cashed out. Self-service advertisers must prepay for services by placing a deposit in their account with the Company.  The deposits are typically paid by the advertiser via check, wire transfer or credit card. Advertisers who use Company personnel to manage their advertising campaigns may prepay for services or request credit terms. Deposits are recorded as unearned revenue until earned as described above.
	All of the Company's revenue is generated through the rendering of services and is recognized under the general guidelines of SAB Topic 13 A.1 which states that revenue will be recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers its revenue as generally realized or realizable and earned once (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the advertiser or customer is fixed (required to be paid at a set amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment) and determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue on the gross amount earned since it generally is the primary obligor in the arrangement, establishes the pricing and determines the service specifications.
	Advertising Costs
	Advertising costs are charged to expense as they are incurred, including payments to contact creators to promote the Company.  Advertising expense charged to operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $827,000 and $67,000, respectively. Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Deferred Rent
	The Company’s operating lease for its office facilities contains predetermined fixed increases of the base rental rate during the lease term which was recognized as rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term which ends in April 2019, but is renewable for one additional year until April 2020. The Company records the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts payable under the lease as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Income Taxes
	The Company has not recorded current income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s tax years, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	Derivative financial instruments are defined as financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying factor (e.g., interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect the financial statements. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible debt and equity instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.
	The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt and equity instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in-the-money when issued, and the fair value of warrants issued in connection with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants, based on their relative fair value, and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The discounts recorded in connection with the BCF and warrant valuation are recognized (a) for convertible debt as interest expense over the term of the debt, using the effective interest method or (b) for preferred stock as dividends at the time the stock first becomes convertible.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	•	Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	•	Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
	•	Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.
	Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The Company does not have any Level 1 or 2 financial assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities measured at fair value consisted of a warrant liability as of December 31, 2014 (see Note 6). Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the warrants include the estimated term. Significant increases (decreases) in the estimated remaining period to exercise would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. In developing our credit risk assumption used in the fair value of warrants, consideration was made of publicly available bond rates and US Treasury Yields. However, since the Company does not have a formal credit-standing, management estimated its standing among various reported levels and grades for use in the model. During all periods, management estimated that the Company's standing was in the speculative to high-risk grades (BB- to CCC in the Standard and Poor's Rating). A significant increase (decrease) in the risk-adjusted interest rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
	The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unearned revenue and accrued expenses. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s capital lease obligations approximate their carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the May 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and August 2011 B Equity Incentive Plan (together, the "2011 Equity Incentive Plans") (see Note 8) is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period.  The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the fair value of its common stock using the closing stock price of its common stock as quoted in the OTCQB marketplace on the date of the agreement.  The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the volatility of comparable peer companies that are publicly traded and have had a longer trading history than itself. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company used the following assumptions for options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
			Twelve Months Ended
	2011 Equity Incentive Plans Assumptions		December 31,	December 31,
			2014	2013
	Expected term		6 years	9 years
	Weighted average volatility		42.26%	51.51%
	Weighted average risk free interest rate		1.80%	2.17%
	Expected dividends		—	—
	The Company estimates forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and this estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates.  Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also impact the amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.  Average expected forfeiture rates were 9.30% and 3.72% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC 505, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that vest immediately is expensed when issued. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that have future vesting and are subject to forfeiture if performance does not occur is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Fair values for the unvested portion of issued instruments are adjusted each reporting period. The change in fair value is recorded to additional paid-in capital. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable.
	Segment Information
	The Company does not identify separate operating segments for management reporting purposes. The results of operations are the basis on which management evaluates operations and makes business decisions.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	There are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which are not yet effective.  Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operating results.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
	The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

	The Company capitalized $568,875 in direct materials, payroll and benefit costs to software development costs in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The Company determined that on April 15, 2013, the project became technologically feasible and the development phase began. On March 17, 2014, the Company launched a public beta of IZEA.com powered by IZEAx and initially began amortizing the costs over 3 years. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company revised its estimate of useful life to 5 years based on a review of the functionality of IZEAx and determination that it was viable and able to supersede and handle all transactions previously processed under its older platforms, which each had a useful life of approximately 5 years. All of the existing legacy platforms were shut down and IZEAx became the sole operating platform by the end of 2014. This change in estimate resulted in a reduction of amortization expense of $37,925 in the fourth quarter. Amortization expense on software development costs recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $85,331 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Amortization expense will be $113,775 for the next four years and $28,444 in 2019.

	Loan Acquisition Costs
	In conjunction with the issuance of notes payable (see Note 5), the Company incurred legal and bank fees that were capitalized as loan acquisition costs and are being amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. Amortization of loan costs included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $10,217 and $27,961 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The remaining value of loan costs as of December 31, 2014 is $1,000 related to the Bridge Bank Credit Agreement, and is expected to be amortized in full during fiscal 2015.
	Customer List Acquisition
	In July 2011, the Company acquired a network of customers that included approximately 12,000 advertisers and 20,000 Twitter creators in 143 countries from Magpie & Friends Ltd., a private limited company organized under the laws in England and Wales. The Company recorded total costs of $125,525 for the purchase of these customers. In December 2012, after analyzing expected future cash flows the customer list it acquired in 2011, the Company determined that the fair value of this asset exceeded its carrying value as of December 31, 2012 and recorded a $48,249 impairment on the value of the customer lists in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company estimated that its future cash flows from these customers would be minimal after one more year and, therefore, determined that the remaining fair value of $77,276 should be amortized equally over the remaining estimated useful life of one year. Amortization of asset costs included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $18,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTES PAYABLE
	Convertible Notes Payable
	$550,000 Note Payable:
	On February 3, 2012, the Company issued a senior secured promissory note in the principal amount of $550,000 less an original issuance discount (OID) of $50,000. The holders were permitted to convert the outstanding principal amount of the note at a conversion price of 90% of the closing price of the Company's common stock. Upon initial recording of the note, the Company determined that the embedded conversion option (ECO) required bifurcation from the host instrument and classification as a liability at fair value. The initial fair value of the ECO of $12,151 was subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The allocation of proceeds from the note resulted in an initial carrying value of the principal of $484,349, consisting of the $550,000 face value of the note less the $50,000 OID, $3,500 in lender fees, and $12,151 allocated to the ECO, or a total discount of $65,651. The discount is subject to amortization, through charges to interest expense, over the term to maturity or conversion using the effective interest method. Approximately $5,800 of the discount and $1,877 of loan acquisition costs were amortized as interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
	From October 2012 through December 2012, the holders of this promissory note converted $437,850 of note value into 2,069,439 shares of common stock at an average conversion rate of $.21 per share. On February 4, 2013, the Company satisfied all of its remaining obligations under this note when the noteholders converted the final balance owed of $112,150 into 773,983 shares of common stock at an average conversion rate of $.145 per share.
	$75,000 Notes Payable:
	On May 4, 2012, the Company issued an unsecured 30-day promissory note to two of its existing shareholders in the principal amount of $75,000. In June 2012, the note was extended until December 4, 2012 and the parties agreed that the noteholders could convert the note at any time on or before the maturity date into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $5.00 per share or (ii) 90% of the then market price based on a volume weighted average price per share of the Company's common stock for the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Upon initial recording of the note, the Company determined that the embedded conversion option (ECO) required bifurcation from the host instrument and classification as a liability at fair value. The initial fair value of the ECO of $15,625 was subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The note bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The noteholders did not elect to convert this note and the Company was not able to pay the balance owed upon its maturity on December 4, 2012. Therefore, the conversion feature expired and the note was in default bearing interest at the default rate of 18% per annum. On August 15, 2013, the Company satisfied all of its remaining obligations under this note when the noteholders converted the $75,000 in principal, plus $12,366 of accrued interest, into 349,464 shares of common stock and a like number of warrants on the same terms and conditions as other investors in its 2013 Private Placement discussed in Note 8. The Company recorded a $93,482 loss on the exchange of the promissory note for shares in the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
	Bridge Bank Credit Agreement
	On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into a secured credit facility agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. of San Jose, California. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company may submit requests for funding up to 80% of its eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum total outstanding advanced amount of $1.5 million. This agreement is secured by the Company's accounts receivable and substantially all of the Company's other assets. The agreement renews annually and requires the Company to pay an annual facility fee of $5,000 (0.5% of the credit facility) and an annual due diligence fee of $1,000. Interest accrues on the advances at the prime plus 2% per annum. The default rate of interest is prime plus 7%. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no advances outstanding under this agreement. The Company incurred $37,301 in costs related to this loan acquisition, including the fair value of warrants issued of $7,209 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The Company incurred $6,000 in costs related to this loan acquisition during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. These costs have been capitalized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as loan acquisition costs within other current assets and are being amortized to interest expense over one year. The Company amortized $10,217 and $26,084 of these costs through interest expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Brian Brady Promissory Notes
	On April 11, 2013 and May 22, 2013, the Company entered into unsecured loan agreements with Brian W. Brady, a director of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company received short-term loans totaling $750,000 due on May 31, 2013. The notes bore interest at 7% per annum with a default rate of interest at 12% based on a 360-day year. On May 31, 2013, the Company signed an extension and conversion agreement that extended the maturity date to August 31, 2013. Additionally, the parties agreed to allow these notes and all accrued interest thereon to be converted into equity upon closing of the next private placement on the same terms and conditions that will be applicable to other investors in the private placement. In consideration for the extension and conversion agreement, the Company issued Mr. Brady a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of five years. The Company also agreed that upon the first closing of its next private placement it would issue Mr. Brady an additional warrant to purchase 3,187,500 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of five years and 1,687,500 restricted stock to be issued upon the earlier of two years after the closing or completion of a transaction resulting in a change of control of the Company. The Company accounted for the extension and conversion agreement associated with these loans as a substantial modification on May 31, 2013 (see Note 6 under Convertible Notes-Carried at Fair Value).
	On June 7, June 14, July 25 and August 12, 2013, the Company entered into additional unsecured loan agreements with Mr. Brady. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company received short-term loans totaling $520,000 due on August 31, 2013. The notes bore interest at 7% per annum with a default rate of interest at 12% based on a 360-day year.
	On August 15, 2013, Mr. Brady converted the $1,270,000 of total principal, plus $19,252 of accrued interest, into 5,157,008 shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the other investors in the 2013 Private Placement discussed in Note 8. There were no further amounts owed to Mr. Brady after the conversion.
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, interest expense on all the notes amounted to $22,397. Direct finance costs allocated to the embedded derivatives were expensed in full upon issuance of the notes. Direct finance costs allocated to the notes are subject to amortization, through charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, interest expense related to the amortization of finance costs amounted to $10,217 and $27,961, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as other income or expense. Upon registration, conversion or exercise, as applicable, of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
	The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
	Warrant Liability
	2014 Activity:
	On February 21, 2014, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase 17,142,864 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 17,142,864 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements entered into in connection with its 2014 Private Placement (see Note 8 for further details). As part of the transaction, the Company also issued a five-year warrant to purchase up to 750,511 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 750,511 shares of the Company' common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share to the placement agent.
	The Company determined that these warrants require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements that required the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares underlying these warrants. The warrants also require classification as a liability due to provisions for potential exercise price adjustments. The Company determined that the fair value of these warrants on their issuance date on February 21, 2014 was $12,382,216. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of December 31, 2014 was $3,202,915. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 related to these shares on April 7, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 14, 2014. Although the warrants are currently registered, they still require liability classification due to the provisions for potential exercise price adjustments.
	2013 Activity:
	In February 2013, pursuant to a private transaction with a warrant holder, the Company redeemed a warrant to purchase 5,001 shares of common stock for the same number of shares without the Company receiving any further cash consideration. The redemption was treated as an exchange wherein the difference between the fair value of the newly issued common stock and the carrying value of the warrant received in the exchange was recognized as a loss on exchange of warrants in the amount of $732 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
	On May 4, 2012, the Company issued an unsecured 30-day promissory note to two of its existing shareholders in the principal amount of $75,000 (See Note 5). On August 15, 2013, the Company satisfied all of its remaining obligations under this note when the noteholders converted the $75,000 in principal, plus $12,366 of accrued interest, into 349,464 shares of common stock and a like number of warrants on the same terms and conditions as other investors in its 2013 Private Placement discussed in Note 8. Since there was no conversion provision in effect on the note at the time, the conversion was treated as an exchange wherein the difference between the fair value of the newly issued common stock and the carrying value of the note received in the exchange was recognized as a loss on exchange of debt in the amount of $93,482 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
	From August 15, 2013 through September 23, 2013, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase 7,118,236 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 7,118,236 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements entered into in connection with its 2013 Private Placement (see Note 8 for further details). The Company determined that these warrants require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights in the agreements that required the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares underlying these warrants. The Company determined that the fair value of these warrants on their issuance date was $2,344,899. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 on October 16, 2013, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 8, 2013 for the registration of 174,732 of these warrant shares. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 related to the remaining warrant shares on July 17, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 29, 2014. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of July 29, 2014 was $3,166,482. As a result of the registration, the warrants no longer require liability classification and the fair value was reclassified to equity in July 2014.
	2012 Activity:
	The Company determined that 110,000 warrant shares issued in its September 2012 public offering still require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements in the agreements. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of December 31, 2014 was $550.
	2011 Activity:
	The Company determined that 13,554 warrant shares remaining from its May 2011 Offering and 250 warrant shares issued in July 2011 for a customer list acquisition still require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements in the agreements. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of December 31, 2014 was $0.
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a gain of $7,845,214 and of $514,704, respectively, due to the change in the fair value of its warrant liability.

	Convertible Notes-Carried At Fair value
	$750,000 Notes Payable:
	In conjunction with the loan extension and conversion agreement with Brian W. Brady discussed in Note 5, since the modification added a substantial conversion feature, the debt instruments were considered “substantially” different after the modification and extinguishment accounting was applicable. As a result, the fair value of the additional warrant to purchase 3,187,500 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share and the additional 1,687,500 shares of restricted stock were considered in the determination of the amount of loss on debt extinguishment. However, since Mr. Brady is a board member and significant shareholder, the transaction is considered to be with a related party and thus, the extinguishment is in essence a capital transaction. As such, the difference between the carrying amount of the original notes of $755,227 and the fair value of the modified notes as well as the fair value of the 1,000,000 warrants issued on May 31, 2013 and the 3,187,500 warrants and 1,687,500 restricted stock shares to be issued in the future of $1,526,202, or $770,975, was included in additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2013 as the transaction was deemed capital in nature. The common stock equivalent value was based on the calculated indexed shares, the fair value of the common stock on the valuation date, and the fair value of the warrants using a binomial lattice model.
	The Company concluded that since the modification resulted in the addition of a conversion feature, the notes no longer met the definition of being indexed to the Company's own stock as provided in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, the modification of these loans on May 31, 2013 resulted in a change that required either bifurcation of the embedded conversion feature or the Company could choose to record the entire fair value of the convertible notes at fair value. According to the terms of the modification, the convertible notes are required to be converted on the date the Company finalizes a future contemplated financing.  Rather than choosing to value the notes based on the present value of their cash flows, it was assumed a market participant would likely consider the common stock equivalent value to be more indicative of the fair value of the notes since they will be converted and not paid in cash.  Therefore, management chose to record the promissory notes  at their fair value using a common stock equivalent approach, with changes in fair value being reported as “Change in the fair value of derivatives and notes payable carried at fair value, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On August 15, 2013, Mr. Brady converted the total principal and accrued interest on the above notes into shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the other investors in the 2013 Private Placement discussed in Note 8. The $750,000 convertible notes payable was valued at $820,202 on May 31, 2013 and $1,586,109 on the note conversion date of August 15, 2013. This change in fair value resulted in an expense of $765,907 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
	$520,000 Notes Payable:
	As discussed in Note 5, the Company entered into additional unsecured loan agreements with Mr. Brady. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company received short-term loans totaling $520,000 maturing on August 31, 2013. Although the notes did not contain a conversion feature, the Company permitted Mr. Brady to convert the $520,000 principal into shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the other investors in the 2013 Private Placement. The difference between the carrying amount of the original notes and accrued interest of $523,016 was compared to the $1,082,642 fair value of the 2,092,064 shares of common stock and 2,092,064 warrants received on August 15, 2013 and since the transaction is considered to be with a related party, the difference of $559,626 was treated as a capital transaction and is included in additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2013. The common stock equivalent value was based on the calculated indexed shares, the fair value of the common stock on the valuation date, and the fair value of the warrants using a binomial lattice model.
	Compound Embedded Derivative
	The Company concluded that the compound embedded derivative in its $550,000 senior secured promissory note issued on February 3, 2012 as discussed in Note 5 above required bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments because it was not considered indexed to the Company's own stock as defined in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. On February 4, 2013, the Company satisfied all of its remaining obligations under its $550,000 senior secured promissory note when the noteholders converted the final balance owed of $112,150 into 773,983 shares of common stock at an average conversion rate of $.145 per share. The value of the compound embedded derivative on December 31, 2012 was $11,817 and its value on the conversion date of February 4, 2013 was $12,461. The Company recorded the value of the compound embedded derivative on the conversion date as a charge to additional paid-in capital. As of February 4, 2013, all convertible notes in which the conversion feature had been bifurcated and recorded at fair value, had been converted in full. The Company recorded an expense of $644 resulting from the change in the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

	Total rent expense recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was approximately $263,000 and $125,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Retirement Plans
	In December 2007, the Company introduced a 401(k) plan that covered all eligible employees. The Company matches participant contributions in an amount equal to 50% of each participant's contribution up to 8% of the participant's salary. The participants become vested in 20% annual increments after two years of service. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $47,682 and $25,477, respectively, in expense for matching employer contributions.
	Litigation
	From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may harm the Company's business. Other than as described below, the Company is currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes would or could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position.
	On October 17, 2012, Blue Calypso, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Blue Calypso’s complaint alleges that the Company infringes on their patents related to peer-to-peer advertising between mobile communication devices and seeks unspecified damages. On July 19, 2013, Blue Calypso’s case against the Company was consolidated, along with patent infringement cases against Yelp, Inc. and Foursquare Labs, Inc., into Blue Calypso, Inc. v. Groupon, Inc. for all pretrial purposes, including discovery and claim construction.
	On December 16, 2013, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (PTAB) instituted a Covered Business Method Review (CBMR) for three of the five patents Blue Calypso asserts in its case against IZEA. In its decisions granting the CMBRs, the PTAB explained that several of Blue Calypso’s asserted patents are likely invalid. In particular, the PTAB found it more likely than not that each of these three patents was invalid based on two independent grounds of anticipation, and one ground of obviousness. Additionally, the PTAB preliminarily found it more likely than not that many of the claims of one of Blue Calypso’s patents were invalid due to a lack of written description. On January 16, 2014, the court granted a joint motion to stay Blue Calypso’s patent infringement case until the PTAB's review of Blue Calypso’s asserted patents is complete. On January 17, 2014, the PTAB expanded its review to all five of Blue Calypso’s assert patents.
	On December 16, 2014, the PTAB issued its Final Decisions concerning the five patents-in-suit. The Final Decisions eliminated the vast majority of claims asserted by Blue Calypso. While some claims did survive the PTAB’s Final Decisions, those claims are potentially invalid in view of factual findings made by the PTAB. The PTAB decisions are now on appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The potential outcomes of these appeals ranges from invalidation of all of Blue Calypso’s asserted claims to complete reversal of the PTAB’s Final Decisions.
	In view of the pending appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Defendants, including IZEA, have requested that the Eastern District of Texas Court keep the pending stay in place until resolution of the appeals. The Court has not yet ruled on Defendants’ motion to keep the stay in place.
	At this stage, the Company does not have an estimate of the likelihood or the amount of any potential exposure to it. The Company believes that there is no merit to Blue Calypso’s suit and continues to vigorously defend itself against Blue Calypso’s allegations.

	Authorized Shares
	On April 17, 2014, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of its common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. The amendment was adopted by stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock by written consent on April 16, 2014.
	The Company also has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of which no shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2014. On January 23, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation to eliminate the authorization of its series A convertible preferred stock, which shares had been fully converted and are no longer outstanding. As a result of the filing, such previously authorized shares of series A preferred stock return to being authorized, unissued and undesignated shares of preferred stock.
	2014 Private Placement
	On February 21, 2014, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of February 12, 2014, for the issuance and sale of 34,285,728 shares of its common stock, at a purchase price of $0.35 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $12,000,000 ("2014 Private Placement"). As part of the private placement, the investors received warrants to purchase up to 17,142,864 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share and warrants to purchase up to another 17,142,864 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on February 21, 2019.
	The net proceeds of $10,932,188 from the private placement, following the payment of $1,067,812 in offering-related expenses, are being used by the Company to focus on revenue growth through the acceleration of its sales and client relations activities and marketing initiatives, establishment of strategic partnerships and continuation of technology and engineering enhancements to its platforms, as well as to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements. At the closing of the private placement, the Company paid Craig-Hallum Capital Partners LLC, the exclusive placement agent for the private placement, cash compensation of $814,850 and two five-year warrants, one warrant to purchase up to 750,511 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share and another warrant to purchase up to 750,511 shares of the Company' common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.
	The Company agreed, pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement with the investors, to (i) file a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of its common stock sold to the investors and shares of its common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants with the SEC within the sooner of 60 days after the closing date or 10 business days after the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013; (ii) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after the initial filing, and in any event no later than 90 days after the closing date (or 120 days in the event of a full review of the shelf registration statement by the SEC); and (iii) keep the shelf registration statement effective until all registrable securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, without the need for current public information or other restriction. If the Company is unable to comply with any of the above covenants, it will be required to pay liquidated damages to the investors in the amount of 1% of the investors’ purchase price per month until such non-compliance is cured, with such liquidated damages payable in cash. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 related to these shares on April 7, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 14, 2014 (satisfying the terms of (i) and (ii) above). On February 21, 2015, the terms of (iii) were satisfied as securities may now be sold pursuant to Rule 144 one year after issuance.
	2013 Private Placement
	In accordance with a Private Placement Memorandum and Securities Purchase Agreement, from August 15, 2013 through September 23, 2013, the Company raised $2,182,500 in cash through the sale of 8,730,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.25 per share ("2013 Private Placement"). Additionally, the Company converted notes payable and accrued interest thereon totaling $1,376,618 into 5,506,472 shares of its common stock at an effective price of $0.25 per share. The Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase 7,118,236 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 7,118,236 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The net proceeds received from the 2013 Private Placement were used for general working capital purposes.
	As discussed in Note 6, the Company determined that the warrants issued with the 2013 Private Placement require liability classification, thus they were reported at fair value and remeasured each reporting period, with the change in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The initial fair value of these warrants on their issuance date totaled $2,344,899. Total costs of the private placement were $1,674,908 which included $178,389 in cash expenses, $2,344,899 related to the investor warrants noted above, less $848,380 related to change in fair value of Brady debt and loss on exchange of other convertible notes prior to conversion. As a result of the above transactions related to the private placement, the Company reported $1,884,210 (total equity value issued of $3,559,118 less costs of $1,674,908) as an increase in common stock and additional paid-in capital on the statement of stockholders deficit.
	Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in the 2013 Private Placement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on October 16, 2013, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 8, 2013 for the registration of 8,730,000 shares of common stock and 174,732 shares underlying the warrants. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 related to the remaining warrant shares on July 17, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 29, 2014. In July 2014, 450,000 shares underlying the $0.25 warrants were exercised for total proceeds of $112,500.
	Convertible Securities
	From October 2012 through December 2012, the holders of the Company's $550,000 senior secured promissory note converted $437,850 of note value into 2,069,439 shares of common stock at an average conversion rate of $.21 per share. On February 4, 2013, the Company satisfied all of its remaining obligations under its $550,000 senior secured promissory note when the noteholders converted the final balance owed of $112,150 into 773,983 shares of common stock at an average conversion rate of $.145 per share. The Company recorded the $12,461 value of the compound embedded derivative on February 4, 2013 as a charge to additional paid-in capital.
	Additional Warrant Transactions
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, pursuant to private transactions with warrant holders, the Company redeemed warrants to purchase 5,001 shares of common stock for the same number of shares without the Company receiving any further cash consideration. As a result of the exchange, the Company recognized a loss on the exchange of the warrants in the amount $732 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
	On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into a $1.5 million secured credit facility agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. of San Jose, California. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued a warrant with an expiration date after 5 years to purchase up to 58,139 shares of common stock for $15,000 ($.258 per share). This warrant met the conditions for equity classification and the fair value of $7,209, as determined using a binomial lattice option valuation technique, was recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as an increase in loan acquisition costs and additional paid-in capital during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
	On May 31, 2013, the Company signed a loan extension and conversion agreement with Brian W. Brady, a director of the Company, that extended the maturity date on its $750,000 notes payable to August 31, 2013. In consideration for the extension and conversion agreement, the Company issued Mr. Brady a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of five years. The Company also agreed that upon the first closing of its next private placement, completed on August 15, 2013, it would issue Mr. Brady an additional warrant to purchase 3,187,500 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of five years and 1,687,500 shares of restricted stock for future issuance upon the earlier of two years after the first closing or completion of a transaction resulting in a change of control of the Company. These warrants and restricted stock met the conditions for equity classification and the fair value of $706,000, as determined using a binomial lattice option valuation technique, was recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as an increase in additional paid-in capital.
	Stock Options
	In May 2011, the Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of IZEA, Inc. (the “May 2011 Plan”). The May 2011 Plan allows the Company to grant options as an incentive for its employees and consultants.  On April 16, 2014, upon consent from holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding voting capital stock, the Company increased the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the May 2011 Plan from 11,613,715 to 20,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had 8,171,242 shares of common stock available for future grants under the May 2011 Plan.
	On August 22, 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 B Equity Incentive Plan (the “August 2011 Plan”) reserving for issuance an aggregate of 87,500 shares of common stock under the August 2011 Plan. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no shares of common stock available for future grants under the August 2011 Plan.
	Under both the May 2011 Plan and the August 2011 Plan (together, the "2011 Equity Incentive Plans"), the Board of Directors determines the exercise price to be paid for the shares, the period within which each option may be exercised, and the terms and conditions of each option. The exercise price of the incentive and non-qualified stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. If an individual owns stock representing more than 10% of the outstanding shares, the price of each share of an incentive stock option must be equal to or exceed 110% of fair market value. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, the right to purchase shares covered by any options under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans typically vest over the requisite service period as follows: 25% of options shall vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining options shall vest monthly, in equal increments over the following three years. The term of the options is up to ten years. The Company issues new shares to the optionee for any stock awards or options exercised pursuant to its equity incentive plans.
	A summary of option activity under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is presented below:
	Options Outstanding	Common Shares		Weighted Average		Weighted Average

	Exercisable at December 31, 2014	4,471,936		$	0.58	7.6
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, options were exercised into 1,250 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $300. The intrinsic value of these options was $295. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, no options were exercised. The outstanding options have an aggregate intrinsic value of $0 as of December 31, 2014. There is no aggregate intrinsic value on the exercisable options as of December 31, 2014 since the weighted average exercise price per share exceeded the fair value of $0.28 on such date.
	A summary of the nonvested stock option activity under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is presented below:
	Nonvested Options	Common Shares		Weighted Average		Weighted Average
				Grant Date		Remaining Years
				Fair Value		to Vest
	Nonvested at December 31, 2012	308,627		$	2.17	2.9
	Granted	8,620,062		0.2
	Vested	(1,871,201	)	0.36
	Forfeited	(1,248,125	)	0.23

	Forfeited	(159,508	)	0.21
	Nonvested at December 31, 2014	7,441,838		$	0.2	3
	Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period.  The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions stated in Note 1. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized on awards outstanding during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $538,263 and $725,254, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded as a general and administrative expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Future compensation related to nonvested awards expected to vest of $1,366,415 is estimated to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of approximately three years.
	Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	On April 16, 2014, stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, upon previous recommendation and approval of the Board of Directors, adopted the IZEA, Inc. 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and reserved 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance thereunder. Any employee regularly employed by our company for 90 days or more on a full-time or part-time basis (20 hours or more per week on a regular schedule) will be eligible to participate in the ESPP. The ESPP will operate in successive six month offering periods commencing at the beginning of each fiscal year half. Each eligible employee who has elected to participate may purchase up to 10% of their annual compensation in common stock not to exceed $21,250 annually or 20,000 shares per offering period. The purchase price will be the lower of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the last trading day of the offering period. The ESPP will continue until January 1, 2024, unless otherwise terminated by the Board. As of December 31, 2014, $1,810 subscription payments were received to purchase 7,603 shares at the end of the offering period on December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had 1,492,397 shares of common stock available for future grants under the ESPP.

	The Company has incurred net losses since inception. At December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $28,588,000 in net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes that expire in various amounts between the years of 2026 and 2033. The Company's ability to deduct its historical net operating losses may be limited in the future due to IRC Section 382 limitations as a result of the substantial issuances of common stock in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The change in valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was an increase of $1,665,000 and $997,000, respectively, resulting primarily from net operating losses generated during the periods.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive securities that could be exercised or converted into common shares during each period presented less the amount of shares that could be repurchased using the proceeds from the exercises.

	On January 30, 2015, the Company purchased of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ebyline, Inc. (“Ebyline”), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 27, 2015, by and among IZEA, Ebyline and the stockholders of Ebyline.
	The aggregate consideration payable by the Company will be an amount in the aggregate of up to $8,850,000, including a cash payment made at closing of $1,200,000, a stock issuance six months after the closing valued at $250,000, up to an additional $1,900,000 in two equal installments of $950,000 on the first and second anniversaries of the closing (subject to proportional reduction in the event Ebyline’s final 2014 revenue is below $8,000,000), and up to $5,500,000 in performance payments based on Ebyline meeting certain revenue targets for each of the three years ending December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 (subject to the continued employment by the Company of William Momary Jr. or Allen Narcisse and subject to proportional payment adjustments if at least 90% of such amounts are met or no payment if such amounts are less than 90%). Both the $1,900,000 in annual payments and the $5,500,000 in performance payments may be made in cash or common stock, at the Company's option. The performance payments will be made only if Ebyline achieves at least 90% of Content-Only Revenue, as defined in the agreement, of $17,000,000 in 2015, $27,000,000 in 2016 and $32,000,000 in 2017. If Ebyline achieves at least 90% but less than 100% of the Content-Only Revenue targets, the performance payments owed of $1,800,000, $1,800,000 and $1,900,000 for each of the three years ending December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, will be subject to adjustment.
	Future cash payments and common stock issuances may be withheld to satisfy indemnifiable claims made by the Company with respect to any misrepresentations or breaches of warranty under the Stock Purchase Agreement by Ebyline or the stockholders of Ebyline within two years after the closing of the acquisition.
	At closing, the Company entered into three-year employment agreements with William Momary Jr., Ebyline’s Chief Executive Officer, and Allen Narcisse, Ebyline’s Chief Financial Officer, who will continue to serve as the Company’s Senior Vice President of Content and Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, respectively.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IZEA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IZEA Innovations, Inc. (together, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
	Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Uncollectibility of accounts receivable is not significant since most customers are bound by contract and are required to fund the Company for all the costs of an “opportunity,” defined as an order created by an advertiser for a creator to write about the advertiser’s product. If a portion of the account balance is deemed uncollectible, the Company will either write-off the amount owed or provide a reserve based on the uncollectible portion of the account. Management determines the collectibility of accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. The Company does not have a reserve for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Management believes that this estimate is reasonable, but there can be no assurance that the estimate will not change as a result of a change in economic conditions or business conditions within the industry, the individual customers or the Company. Any adjustments to this account are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as a general and administrative expense. Bad debt expense was less than 1% of revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are typically limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company also controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. At December 31, 2014, the Company had two customers which accounted for 29% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. At December 31, 2013, the Company had two customers which accounted for 23% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. The Company had one customer that accounted for 10% and 12% of its revenue during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment
	Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method and half-year convention over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Computer Equipment	3 years
	Software Costs	3 years
	Office Equipment	3 - 10 years
	Furniture and Fixtures	5 - 10 years
	Leasehold Improvements	5 years
	Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, related costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed and any gain or loss is recognized in net income or loss.
Software Development Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Software Development Costs
	Throughout 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, the Company developed a new web-based advertising exchange platform called the IZEA Exchange (IZEAx). IZEAx is designed to provide a unified ecosystem that enables the creation of multiple types of content including blog posts, status updates, videos and photos through a wide variety of social channels including blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and LinkedIn, among others. This platform will be utilized both internally and externally to facilitate native advertising campaigns on a greater scale. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software and ASC 985-730, Computer Software Research and Development, research phase costs should be expensed as incurred and development phase costs including direct materials and services, payroll and benefits and interest costs may be capitalized. The Company is amortizing software development costs for IZEAx over 5 years.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition
	The Company derives its revenue from three sources: revenue from an advertiser for the use of the Company's network of social media content creators to fulfill advertiser sponsor requests for a blog post, tweet, click or action ("Sponsored Revenue"), revenue from the posting of targeted display advertising ("Media Revenue") and revenue derived from various service fees charged to advertisers and creators ("Service Fee Revenue"). Sponsored revenue is recognized and considered earned after an advertiser's opportunity is posted on the Company's online platform and their request is completed and content listed, as applicable, by the Company's creators for a requisite period of time. The requisite period ranges from 3 days for an action or tweet to 30 days for a blog. Management fees related to Sponsored Revenue from advertising campaigns managed by the Company are recognized ratably over the term of the campaign which may range from a few days to months. Media Revenue is recognized and considered earned when the Company's creators place targeted display advertising in blogs. Service fees charged to advertisers are primarily related to inactivity fees for dormant accounts and fees for additional services outside of sponsored revenue. Service fees charged to creators include upgrade account fees for obtaining greater visibility to advertisers in advertiser searches in our platforms, early cash-out fees if a creator wishes to take proceeds earned for services from their account when the account balance is below certain minimum balance thresholds and inactivity fees for dormant accounts. Service fees are recognized immediately when the maintenance or enhancement service is performed for an advertiser or creator or at the time the account becomes dormant or is cashed out. Self-service advertisers must prepay for services by placing a deposit in their account with the Company.  The deposits are typically paid by the advertiser via check, wire transfer or credit card. Advertisers who use Company personnel to manage their advertising campaigns may prepay for services or request credit terms. Deposits are recorded as unearned revenue until earned as described above.
	All of the Company's revenue is generated through the rendering of services and is recognized under the general guidelines of SAB Topic 13 A.1 which states that revenue will be recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers its revenue as generally realized or realizable and earned once (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the advertiser or customer is fixed (required to be paid at a set amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment) and determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue on the gross amount earned since it generally is the primary obligor in the arrangement, establishes the pricing and determines the service specifications.
Advertising Cost, Policy, Expensed Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Costs
	Advertising costs are charged to expense as they are incurred, including payments to contact creators to promote the Company.  Advertising expense charged to operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $827,000 and $67,000, respectively. Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Deferred Rent
	The Company’s operating lease for its office facilities contains predetermined fixed increases of the base rental rate during the lease term which was recognized as rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term which ends in April 2019, but is renewable for one additional year until April 2020. The Company records the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts payable under the lease as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes
	The Company has not recorded current income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s tax years, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivative Financial Instruments
	Derivative financial instruments are defined as financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying factor (e.g., interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect the financial statements. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible debt and equity instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.
	The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt and equity instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in-the-money when issued, and the fair value of warrants issued in connection with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants, based on their relative fair value, and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The discounts recorded in connection with the BCF and warrant valuation are recognized (a) for convertible debt as interest expense over the term of the debt, using the effective interest method or (b) for preferred stock as dividends at the time the stock first becomes convertible.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	•	Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	•	Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
	•	Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.
	Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The Company does not have any Level 1 or 2 financial assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities measured at fair value consisted of a warrant liability as of December 31, 2014 (see Note 6). Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the warrants include the estimated term. Significant increases (decreases) in the estimated remaining period to exercise would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. In developing our credit risk assumption used in the fair value of warrants, consideration was made of publicly available bond rates and US Treasury Yields. However, since the Company does not have a formal credit-standing, management estimated its standing among various reported levels and grades for use in the model. During all periods, management estimated that the Company's standing was in the speculative to high-risk grades (BB- to CCC in the Standard and Poor's Rating). A significant increase (decrease) in the risk-adjusted interest rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
	The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unearned revenue and accrued expenses. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s capital lease obligations approximate their carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the May 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and August 2011 B Equity Incentive Plan (together, the "2011 Equity Incentive Plans") (see Note 8) is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period.  The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the fair value of its common stock using the closing stock price of its common stock as quoted in the OTCQB marketplace on the date of the agreement.  The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the volatility of comparable peer companies that are publicly traded and have had a longer trading history than itself. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company used the following assumptions for options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
			Twelve Months Ended
	2011 Equity Incentive Plans Assumptions		December 31,	December 31,
			2014	2013
	Expected term		6 years	9 years
	Weighted average volatility		42.26%	51.51%
	Weighted average risk free interest rate		1.80%	2.17%
	Expected dividends		—	—
	The Company estimates forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and this estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates.  Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also impact the amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.  Average expected forfeiture rates were 9.30% and 3.72% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block]	Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC 505, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that vest immediately is expensed when issued. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that have future vesting and are subject to forfeiture if performance does not occur is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Fair values for the unvested portion of issued instruments are adjusted each reporting period. The change in fair value is recorded to additional paid-in capital. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Segment Information
	The Company does not identify separate operating segments for management reporting purposes. The results of operations are the basis on which management evaluates operations and makes business decisions.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	There are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which are not yet effective.  Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operating results.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
	The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

	(2)  The term is the contractual remaining term, allocated among twelve equal intervals for purposes of calculating other inputs, such as volatility and risk-free rate.
	(3)  The implied expected life, and equivalent volatility and risk-free interest rate amounts are derived from the binomial.
	(4)  The Company does not have a market trading history upon which to base its forward-looking volatility. Accordingly, the Company selected peer companies that provided a reasonable basis upon which to calculate volatility for each of the intervals described in (2), above.
	(5)  The risk-free rates used for inputs represent the yields on zero coupon U.S. Government Securities with periods to maturity consistent with the intervals described in (2), above.

[1]	The fair market value of the asset was determined by using the Company's closing stock price as reflected in the over-the-counter market.
[2]	The term is the contractual remaining term, allocated among twelve equal intervals for purposes of calculating other inputs, such as volatility and risk-free rate.
[3]	The implied expected life, and equivalent volatility and risk-free interest rate amounts are derived from the binomial.
[4]	The Company does not have a market trading history upon which to base its forward-looking volatility. Accordingly, the Company selected peer companies that provided a reasonable basis upon which to calculate volatility for each of the intervals described in (2), above.
[5]	The risk-free rates used for inputs represent the yields on zero coupon U.S. Government Securities with periods to maturity consistent with the intervals described in (2), above.
